It is wonderful to see the extent to which the Tathāgata has well supported the Bodhisattvas, having encompassed and favoured them. 

It is because these Bodhisattvas have practised for the happiness and positive welfare of the many, out of empathy for the world.  Out of deep care and empathy for sentient beings, and for the benefit of a great mass of people, they work to win supreme enlightenment, and thereafter to demonstrate the supreme Dharma.


A Bodhisattva courses in perfect wisdom. He knows form and the remaining skandhas are unthinkable.  When he does not perceive form and the rest, then he courses in perfect wisdom. 

The Bodhisattva does not construct self confidence, nor the state of self knowledge, nor the Buddhadharmas as these powers are unthinkable; this is how the Bodhisattva practises the perfection of wisdom.   

The perfection of wisdom is a vast treasure, and it is as pure as space.  Many obstacles will arise in this practice of the perfection of wisdom.  It is a fact that in respect of very precious things many difficulties will arise, but the Bodhisattva devotes his undivided attention to this practice. 

The Buddhas lend their support for the avoidance of obstacles as they maintain themselves in immeasurable and incalculable world-systems.  Hence the Bodhisattvas train in Thusness. They train in the deep perfection of wisdom, and progress while remaining poised in their decision to win full enlightenment. 

The continual study of the perfection of wisdom, and the mental excitation about it, will greatly benefit them; it is a great advantage, bringing fruit and rewards as they aim at ultimate reality. This wisdom of perfection will be penetrated by all beings into what dharmas truly are.
